Some of the products are protected by copyrights, some have database protection, and some have expired. As stated in CC BY, these only include protected products, and the requirement of source reference is therefore only applicable if the product is protected, or if the name must be mentioned for other reasons (generally accepted business practice).

Liability

The Norwegian Mapping Authority’s free products are distributed as is. The Norwegian Mapping Authority is not liable for claims arising out of the use of the maps. Users are advised to use due diligence and consideration for equipment and terrain.

Users must be aware that maps are not always consistent with the terrain, and any use must occur with due caution and consideration to equipment and physical conditions.

Terms for use of services

Some services are subject to technical limitations, which will appear on the individual service. Furthermore, if not otherwise stated, the rules, regulations, and related guidelines of the Norwegian Spatial Data Act apply.

Some services contain data from external services with additional data which the user is required to respect.

CC BY does not apply to the products which are public domain. Historical maps older than 100 years are considered public domain. We still request that the users make the appropriate credit out of respect for the makers of these creations.
